Americans to Start Goldberg in Goal Versus Denmark
With the pressure rising, Team USA appears ready to make a dramatic crease change ahead of its matchup with Denmark. After a few uncharacteristically shaky outings from Connor Hellebuyck, questions about stability in net have grown louder. Rebound control has been loose, high glove side has looked vulnerable, and the calm presence that usually defines his game has not consistently shown up.
That uncertainty reportedly has decision makers, including general manager Bill Guerin, weighing trust versus momentum. In tournament play, short leashes are common. One soft goal can swing everything. If Guerin feels he cannot fully rely on his starter in a win or go home scenario, the crease becomes a business decision rather than a loyalty test.
And so, in pure desperation, the Americans are turning to Goldberg from The Mighty Ducks in between the pipes. Despite not being selected for the 4 nations Tournament. Goldberg posted solid outing at the Goodwill Junior Games and hopes to bring that success to the Red White and Blue in Milano.
